Outrage
In 2025, outrage is not just an emotion—it’s an way of life. Fuelled by algorithms, monetised through media, and shaped by cultural tribalism, outrage has become a dominant force in public discourse and digital behaviour.
From cancel culture and brand boycotts to online pile-ons and viral justice campaigns, outrage moves fast, hits hard, and leaves marks. While it can mobilise accountability, it can also distort nuance, flatten complexity, and burn out communities.
All of us are a bit burned out by our outrage in 2025.
Each of us need to understand we are being pushed towards heightened emotions and cultural biases that are destructive to communities and good communication.
Let's each of us take individual responsibility and rise above it.
